One of my *biggest* gripes at the moment is the media commentariat treating existential threats as just another interesting story. This view is stupid ⬇️
With net zero targets fast approaching, the debate is shifting to concerns about cost, says Laura Kuenssberg.
They've been unwatchable disposable trash for the last five years.
"Concerns about cost" Just wait until they find out the cost of *not* mitigating and adapting. But that won't be part of Kuennsberg's "story", will it?
When were they _in_ fashion? If only.
Climate change and the Bugblatterbeast of Traal (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) have a frightening similarity. The Bugblatterbeast is so stupid that it believes if you can’t see it then it it can’t see you, but it’s fictional, unlike climate change. So not looking at climate change will not help.
I wish the journalism of educated stupidity would go out of fashion
